Be True to the Word    

(Zep 3:1-2, 9-13; Mt 21:28-32) We can hold up the parable of the two sons like a mirror that reflects how well we are doing the Father’s will. Do we say yes to the works of mercy but neglect the poor because we “can’t find the time” to serve them? Or do we admit to our upside-down priorities and set out to do what God desires of us?

Discern the Signs    

(Is 45:6c-8, 18, 21c-25; Lk 7:18b-23) When John the Baptist needed to know if Jesus was truly “the one who is to come,” Jesus responded by listing his deeds of compassion. He spent himself in love for all those who needed him. By this sign, we will know him. By what signs will others know us as Christ’s disciples?

Embrace God’s Purpose    

(Is 54:1-10; Lk 7:24-30) Both Jesus and the Baptist were rejected by the Pharisees and legal scholars who insisted on their own version of who the Messiah was and what his message should be. As the Gospel puts it, “[they] rejected God’s purpose for themselves.” In silent prayer, consider how you are fulfilling God’s purpose. And rejoice at all the good you discover.

Family Connections    

(Gn 49:2, 8-10; Mt 1:1-17) We can imagine how pleased Jesus would have been to hear a recitation of the 42 generations connecting him with Abraham and David. But he would have been saddened by how few of his great-grandmothers were mentioned by name.

Angelic Voices

(Jer 23:5-8; Mt 1:18-25)The Gospels reveal precious little about the man who became Mary’s husband, and how he overcame the cultural and religious traditions that stood between them. What we do know is that Joseph had the courage to listen to an angel in a dream so vivid that it could not be ignored. In what ways have you listened to angelic voices?

God With Us

 We have heard the angel’s announcement to Joseph so many times that we forget to be wowed by it. A virgin will give birth to a son. His name will be “God With Us.” If today you are burdened with holiday cares, how will you let them go into the arms of the God who is right here, right now, right with us, always?

The Favored One

(Is 7:10-14; Lk 1:26-38) Mary must have been stunned by an archangel’s greeting her as the “favored one” and by his assurance that the Lord was with her. Whatever her concerns about how God will empower her to accomplish his plan, Mary dares to go forward, knowing that she is loved and that she will suffer. We, too, are favored ones in God’s eyes.

Honor the Mothers    

(Sg 2:8-14; Lk 1:39-45) How easy it is to miss the reality that Elizabeth, the aged mother-to-be of John the Baptist, is the first person in the Gospels to be described as “filled with the Holy Spirit.” Overcome with joy at her young relative’s pregnancy, Elizabeth shouts her praise of holy Mary and the blessed boy in her womb.

Sing Out!    

(1 Sm 1:24-28; Lk 1:46-56) Mary is so moved by Elizabeth’s tribute to her and to her Son that she has to sing out her joy. Her Magnificat brims over with praise for the Lord, confidence in her own holiness and prophetic protest against powerful oppressors. Mary’s song suggests that our prayers are sometimes too domesticated.

Celebrate the Little Ones    

(Mal 3:1-4, 23-24; Lk 1:57-66) What a party they must have had at the home of Elizabeth and Zechariah when their only child was born. The relatives were floored when Elizabeth gave him a name that was new to the family tree. But Zechariah agreed. The child would be called John and he would be great in holiness.

A Mighty Savior

(2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16; Lk 1:67-79) Like the proud Jewish papa that he was, Zechariah greeted John’s birth with an animated song of thanksgiving for the mighty Savior his son would serve. On this eve of Christmas, we join in giving thanks for “the tender mercy of our God” who comes to guide us in his ways of peace.

Welcome, Prince of Peace!    

(Is 9:1-6; Lk 2:1-14) A child is born to us. Mary and Joseph hover over him, their faces bright as stars. Shepherds kneel in humble worship, and angels sing his glory. Brother Ox and Sister Lamb amble up to the manger. Christ our Light has come into the world. Our Advent journey ends in adoration.

Hunger For Righteousness    

The great message of the beatitudes is that, regardless of what the rich and the satisfied will or will not do concerning the current status of things, the situation of the poor and of those who hunger for righteousness is preferable to that of the rich.

Rich in Mercy    

In the life of the church, as in the life of Jesus, both the mercy of the heart and the mercy of hands should shine forth together, whether it be “visceral mercy” or works of mercy.

Our Main Focus    

As you wrestle with tangled lights and strained finances, remember to put all that aside and focus on the true meaning of the day. It can be found in a tiny house and in the love of those gathered there.

Depend on God

While the world is filled with God’s overflowing goodness, it is poverty that allows one to experience this goodness by becoming radically dependent on God.

Grace is God’s enabling power. His grace will give you the strength, wisdom and favor to accomplish what you could not normally accomplish on your own. His grace is sufficient for whatever you need in your future. Receive His grace today, by faith, and let Him empower you to walk through that difficulty into a place of supernatural victory in Jesus’ name!

Hymn of Praise    

Just as many different instruments merge into the melodic glory of an orchestra, so too this radical diversity of the communion of saints blends into one magnificent hymn of praise to God. The communion is the result of a common union: union with Jesus Christ.

Faith Fourishes in the Dark

Trials, temptations, spiritual dryness and suffering are all opportunities for our faith to grow stronger. We can, of course, neglect these opportunities and allow our faith to wither and die. But those who praise God in life’s difficulties will experience the opposite effect.
